On today’s episode I share the second part of my conversation with, Shannon Leibold, the founder of Scripture and Story, about feeling restless and walking through a season of waiting and how we she transitioned from a 9 to 5 job into starting her own business, a ministry focused on creating bible study resources for women.

Shannon shares why it was important to trust God’s timing and make space to listen to what he had for her next. And she shares that you will never be fully ready but through faith and trust in God we will be able to take the first step.

It is a beautiful two part conversation about finding the way forward through intimacy with God instead of productivity. And we talk about time is a gift to be received not managed.

Join us for part two of the conversation around transition, stepping into what God has called you to and more. And How what you have and can do right now to bless someone is enough.

On today’s daily encouragement episode Kristin talks about getting clear on what we truly want- what are our deepest desires and dreams? Often we don’t take the time to really think about what we want or how society, or our family or obligations push us into setting different goals or dreams for ourselves that don’t align with our true desires. And the way to go after the life we want starts with getting clear on our dreams and desires and sharing them with someone else. Are you ready to go after what you really want?

What is holding you back from going after your dreams, defining life on your terms and from finding meaningful work you love? What is holding you back from going after your dreams to start your business or to write a book or launch a podcast, to sell your art or clothing, or to start an online business?  What is holding you back from finding real joy and meaning in your life?

In the midst of Thanksgiving and now as we set our sights on the coming Christmas Holiday- the birth of baby Jesus – we can get overbooked, overwhelmed and even feel exhausted with our packed schedules and our list of gifts to buy and things to do- let’s remember to seek God even more during this time so we can truly experience the miracle of Jesus’ birth and the true gift of the season.

The only way we fill that yearning, that longing in our hearts is to continually to seek God- so this season let’s make sure we leave lots of room for time with God.

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours. I see today and this holiday season as a time we can show up with more grace, love and kindness to dole out to those around us as we gather together. Let’s rise above any pretense, or petty people and remember it’s about making others feel welcome. Let’s show up more like Christ on Thanksgiving and how we approach family or friends, those we enjoy and those we may not.

When we make mistakes, or have behavior we know isn’t Christ-like it can be easy to think God doesn’t love us but this is the furthest from the truth- God always loves us and pursues us but we must seek him and continue to go to him.

Join Kristin as she has a faith fueled conversation with guest, Arletha Brown, a Christian Business Coach and Podcast Host of Nu Oil Podcast, about how to heal our mind & soul so we can hear from God and step into the purpose has he for us.

Arletha helps others heal from narcissistic or damaging relationships, and reminds us when we have strong emotions or feelings that keep coming up that is usually an indicator that we need to do work in that area of ourselves or life.

Arletha reminds us that we need to pour into ourselves and heal ourselves so we can fully show up for the people around us.

And we talk about finding satisfation, love, security and peace from our relationship with God instead of looking for validation from the world or other people.

On today’s podcast, I have a conversation with Kate Petry, a former pastor, life & leadership coach, and podcast host of Strong & Free Leaders, about going through a challenging time at work and stepping into something new.

We discuss knowing who you truly are, and what you stand for (values, belief, knowing your worth), and how knowing those things can help us serve others better.

And we talk about knowing when it’s time to make a change, accept something or leave for something else and signs that an environment, job or place isn’t working for us.

Ok of the best parts of this conversation is around building our work and life around a purpose instead of success because often when we seek success we always feel unsatisfied as we reach the next rung, or promotion because our value needs to come from our Why and how we serve instead of reaching for something more.

Are we chasing more vadition, significance or recognition? It’s easy to chase more when the world tells us this is what we should want. But Jesus invites us to live a simplier, more humble life pointing others to Him instead of to us.

Matthew 5:16 reminds us that we are called to do works that point others to God and to Give Glory to God.

Today I have a conversation with Kate Petry, a former pastor, life & leadership coach, and podcast host of Strong and Free Leaders, about walking through a season of transition. We discuss how God wants to change us from old to new and change our hearts and how we can discern what it is God is trying to do in and for us.

Often if we are feeling stuck, insecure, or struggling with an area of our life their is a block and perspective we need to do the work to change. And God wants to partner with us to find our contentment, security, worth and love in our relationship and the understanding only He can give us.

We’ve all been through hard things. And we all know friends or family who have experienced loss, grief, a diagnosis, or difficult time. The question is how do we show up for other people during those times? Sometimes it’s hard to know how to show up for others when they are going through the trenches so we might say- let me know what I can do to help. But often the person doesn’t tell us what we can do because they are just trying to get through the day, through the hard season.

What if instead we just showed up. What if instead we just did something. What if instead we took action to show them we care, that they are loved, that we are there beside them. How would that change how they felt in that hard season? It would remind them that we are with them, for them and that someone is caring for them, and sees their need.

My call for each of us is to step through the uncertainty, the awkward silence and show up on their doorstep or phone with our hands full of love, and kindness and maybe full of food or thoughtful things.
